Eventually, the fifties brought new guys such as Eyvind Earle, Dick Ung, Homer Jonas and Vic Haboush who would worry the old guard even more.<br /><br />However, we kept pushing these changes, and you can see it even in the little &quot;Wind Wagon Smith&quot; short we made in the early sixties.

At the time that Kimball drew the 1946 card, he was animating &quot;Pecos Bill&quot; and there was a certain amount of concern around the studio that he was trying to do &quot;Brotherhood of Man&quot;-style animation. He clearly wasn&#39;t, but he had been vocal about his appreciation of the short, which unnerved people like director Clyde Geronimi.Amidhttp://www.amidamidi.comnoreply@blogger.com
